we've all done it.. we've said something or done something, then thought- why did i do that?. or what did i say that (i'm not talking relating to bipolar, just in general)
1 of mine recently happened on an online quiz, they asked the question- in charles dickens novel a christmas carol, who says " baa humbug?"

before i even knew what i was doing i wrote "charles dickens"

embarraassed much. i know it's screwdge.. i just wasn't thinking. i will never live that down

another one was a comment i made during a conversation, " but to milk a cow, the cow has to be dead"

um hello... if the cow's dead, how can you milk it?

yeah.. share yours

[Skeezyks]

Actually... this tends to be a daily occurrence for the Skeezyks! In real life, I tend to be a pretty negative, sarcastic person. Plus I have a difficult time holding my tongue. So I'm regularly saying something (mostly to my spouse since she's the only person I typically see) that, after I've said it, I think to myself... "why'd I say that? Geez... when am I going to learn to just keep my mouth shut?" I never do.

This has happened twice...
I'll go to the grocery store and make my purchase, and then proceed to walk out of the store without the bag of groceries. Luckily the cashiers are nice enough and paying attention to call me back to get my bag.

I'm a paralegal. One day at work the receptionist called me to say a client was there with an issue, and she asked me "what should I tell him?" and I said "you can tell him to kiss my @ss!"

Doh!

I think that's true if the cow is a bull

I am 57 years old and I didn't know that those little "lucky rabbit's feet" weren't from real rabbits until my hubby told me a few days ago. Made me feel like a complete fool. LOL

Well now I know too!

[MusicLover82]

I recently called my husband "my boyfriend" to his face!! It was a total accidental slip, not freudian, either. We've been married 4 years, too. It took a lot of convincing for me to let him know it was a total random accident, not freudian.

Went to a gun show in a convention center, and ended up in a computer show instead.
Rifle in shoulder. The geeks were not amused.

There's quite a story behind those panties and I would love to hear it

[Crazy Hitch]

Saying to my Year 11 class who were trying to escape before the bell rang:

"No, the bell has not said ding-a-ling" yet.

Well you say ding-a-ling around 17 year old boys and they take it as something else...

[Raindropvampire]

conversation between me and little bro:

Me: I get the gizzards thing but why don't you hear about bird kidneys?
Bro: Pretty sure they don't have kidneys not like we do.
Me: Ummmm pretty sure all mammals have kidneys DOH@!!
Bro: Uh sissy birds aren't mammals
Me: Yupper just wow

at least we were in the car and there were no other witnesses to my idiocy

I used to be a high school choir director. I was teaching a bunch of male students how to sing "Carol of the Bells." At the end it goes "Ding, dong, ding... donnnnnggggg." I told the tenors to hold out their "dong" at the end, and the class erupted in laughter. I turned bright red and started chuckling myself. OOPS....

[Liz+4]

My boss told me to go. She meant it was my turn to talk but I took her literally and left the meeting.

A child asked where her dad was. I misheard her as asking where my dad was and told her I don't live with him anymore.

On and on it goes. At least I can usually laugh about them afterwards!

i once went through a stage where i was obsessed with the moon landings, so ordered a dvd about how it was done- and the life of neil armstrong

but when i started watching it it was all about motor racing, and when i checked, i found that what i'd actually done was ordered a dvd by lance armstrong (the racing driver), and not neil (the astranaught)

embarrasing

That's always been my favorite carol.
Now even more!

I was so tired on my break yesterday I had to count on my fingers to figure out when 15 minutes past when I signed out was. And I'm a math major.

I work at an amusement park and people pose on my ride for pictures all the time. There's this new trend called the dab dance, but I'm unaware of these things so when a bunch of middle schoolers said "Let's do dabbing!" I thought "aren't you guys a little young for that?"

I do a lot of stupid things but I can't think beyond three days ago.

[Ripose]

As some of you know I broke my femur and collar bone, well i stood up and turned around and had another wreck (minor) because I forgot to use my walker, duh.

[Bobbyj]

Oh my i think i have these moments at least 1x per day. Off the top of my head- I remember in high school we had an extra credit point if we could write our name backwards. Guess who the only person to spell it wrong was?

LOL- I spelled it wrong front wards last week! Then I could NOT remember my phone number, or find it on my new phone. I think the room was too hot... or my underpants were too tight?

[JustJace2u]

I have a lot of those moments, especially during an exam. I am ALWAYS second guessing myself.
